If anyone can suggest a simpler way of installing CentOS on a machine without a CD drive I should be interested to hear.
I thought I did that a long time ago. Put the small boot.img file that is in the /images on the CD or DVD isos on a USB drive (you can use a loopback mount to get it if you can't find a place to download it separately), boot from it, pick nfs as the install method, and point it to the directory containing the CD iso images that you have under an NFS export on another box. You'll be in the same installer as if you booted the install disk with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt and have all the same choices as you would if you were changing CDs as you go - except it takes care of that for you.
